The War after the War is a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments. In the South, African American and white unionists formed a successful biracial coalition that elected state and local officials. White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments.

When a group of people gather together to generate ideas for solving a problem or achieving a goal, sometimes the best ideas are passed over. Worse, a problematic suggestion with far less likelihood of success may be selected instead. Why would a group dismiss an option that would be more effective? Leadership and communications expert John Daly has a straightforward answer: It wasn't sold to them as well. If the best idea is yours, how can you increase the chances that it gains the support of the group? In Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others, Daly explains in full detail how to transform ideas into practice.

I ran across John O’Leary’s podcast (@JohnO’LearyInspries) and you can listen to it HERE. It got me thinking about all the times we run into people, we never know what they are going through. We are all going through things, some good, some not so good. If we can approach people with a bit more kindness, empathy, encouragement, etc., we might find some connections with them that we never say coming. One thing for sure, the world needs more of this for sure. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple ...

I saw this post from Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom) who reminded us to “Just show up.” It’s something that I’ve heard before but this one hit me a bit different with his notes that he left for himself. Here they are: “The key in life: Show up. Show up when it’s hard. Show up when it’s messy. Show up when no-one’s watching. Show up when you don’t feel like it. Show up when the rewards are uncertain. Just show up. You can never bet against the person who just keeps showing up.” Here were my thoughts on the post that I put with it when I shared it: Love this!! This ...

Once again, lessons pop up when I need them and it’s also connected to the fact that I still need to learn (or relearn) these important lessons again. Remember - Lesson repeated, until lesson learned. This teachable moment comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “Bigger dreams call for healthier habits and healthier habits require more self discipline.” The reason this spoke right to me was that I was just thinking about this last night. Telling myself (instead of listening to myself), that I needed to get back on track with my habits and that I know I need to tighten up the “self ...

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted. But we’re rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

A wonderfully timed post came across my readings the other morning and it sure did make sense to me today. On my walk with our dog this morning, it was such a nice morning that helped me feel a bit better and able to get around without a lot of pain. The gratitude was flowing and I hope this gets you thinking about it too. This post was shared by Gordana Biernat (@MyPowertalk) and I love this intro to the post that she shared: “Gratitude is a miracle frequency.” Her quote that was shared was: “Don’t wait until you lose something before you appreciate it.” I need to make this a ...

I saw a recent post, again from a former student of mine, that opened up my eyes to catch the lessons that they are sharing. Kiara shared how she needs to keep being a bit nicer to herself as she looks back a bit to see that she has accomplished quite a lot over the last couple of years. That her goals keep evolving, as she does too. This is a lesson that I needed to see, when I needed it and her post helped with it. The quote that came with her thoughts was this: “I’m not everything I want to be yet, but I’m a lot of things I wanted to be 2 years ago, and what a wonderful thing it is ...

I found a unique post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this quote from “Discipline” was shared with all of us: “Keep showing up, no matter how you feel.” It’s a powerful reminder from a great source that we all need to be connected with in our lives, which is having discipline. There are many forms to this for all of us, but one of the main ingredients is this quote for sure and I really zeroed in on the keep showing up part! Hey, there are a lot of different quotes that I have shared over the years - I think we can all trust this one from Discipline him (or her) self. ...

Thirty years ago, Sean Coleman's father abandoned his family in the Colorado mountain town of Winston, and was never heard from again.
